Ireland 1847 | Asenath Nicholson, American philanthropist “We have often seen a donkey passing our window carrying a corpse, wound about with some old remnant of a blanket or a sheet.” Taken from the book The Truth Behind The Irish Famine:72 paintings, 472 eyewitness quotes www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1848 | Hermann Von Puckler Muskau “I visited a house and found it built of unhewn stones from the fields with the crevices stuffed with moss, and a roof made of staves covered half by straw and half by sods. The floor consisted of bare earth, and there was no ceiling under the above-mentioned semi-transparent roof. Chimneys also seem to be thought of as a useless luxury. The smoke went from the freestanding hearth apertures out through the window unhindered by any glass panes. A partition on the right divided the sleeping quarters of the family, all of whom slept together, and another one on the left for the pig and the cow. Thus the cabin stood in the middle of a field without a garden or comfort of any kind - and this is what they called an ‘excellent house’.” Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 images, 472 eye witness quotes: www.jerrymulvihill.com
Dry Stone Walls of Ireland
A depiction of an Irish eviction by Gerardine Cooper | Sidney Osborne 1849. “The word is now given by the Agent to his destructives. If the people will not come out of the dwellings they are dragged out, with them, the bed, kettle, old wheel, tub, and one or two stools, with perhaps an old chest. Few cabins have anything to add to this list of furniture. The tenants are ejected; the living and dead stock being alike out in the road.”Taken from the book The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 72 paintings, 472 eyewitness quotes: www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1847 | "The Government’s programme of public works proved to be a tragic error, especially in the bitter winters of 1846–47 and 1847–48. Workers were, by law, paid on piece-work, and bad weather reduced their income further. Piece-work also penalised the weak, the elderly, and the undernourished who were not able to labour effectively. Workers were poorly clothed and their health suffered from exposure. Besides, they were too badly fed to do heavy work, and many died of malnutrition. " From The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 images, 472 eyewitness accounts.
